Reaching the WoW gold cap is really not that hard. There are a number of methods that you can use to make gold like a pro and the best thing is, you do not have to pay money for the privilege of having this information! All of these tips and tricks are easy to figure out in game.
Why are you fighting fair with mobs if you have a strong 85?
It is amazing how some people never realize the strength of their character. They get to level 85 and think that the only thing their character can do is farm the same heroics and raids, hoping to get some epic purple loot. In the meantime, their gold supply is hovering at anywhere between 10g-150g per day and they are always on edge, worrying about whether they will be able to pay the repair bill in their raid or not.
Well here’s a fact: A level 85 heroic dungeon will take half an hour to complete with a good group and you will earn about 1-200g from the loot and normal extras. If you clear a level 60 raid alone, you can earn 1-2000g from the same amount of time spent!
Oh come on, you’re saying that’s cowardly? Well, maybe that boss has a gray number ‘63’ next to its name, but it can still hit like a truck. It still has 1 million hit points and special abilities that can kill you. So if he can kill you (with difficulty) why won’t you kill him (with ease)? Especially if he’s going to give you 250g when you take his head!
One solo run of a level 60 raid will net you a week’s worth of heroic bills and not having to worry about buying the latest gems and enchants. What are you waiting for?
Finding a niche
Getting World of Warcraft gold is the same as succeeding at a business in real life: you need to find your niche. Pay attention to the market, scan the auction house regularly with an addon such as Auctioneer. Always have your scans up to date so you will know the value of any item when you are out in the field killing and looting. You need to find a drop that sells well. Find out where it comes from using Wowhead.com and then get out there and keep killing for profit. But a true merchant warrior also knows that others will get the same idea and she may end up with competition. This may come in the form of hostile or friendly players competing for mobs in the source area or from same-faction players competing on the auction house. A good businesswoman knows when to sell her stock and get out. The earlier you do this and the quicker you are able to adapt to a new niche, the faster you will be able to get World of Warcraft gold!
